Obituary

Christina Harris was born August 12, 1873 and died November 11, 1918; age 45 years, two months and 29 days. She leaves a husband, one daughter and five sons, besides many other relatives and friends to mourn her loss.

Four of her boys joined the army to fight for the freedom of the world, and the greatest desire of the mother's heart was that she might live to see her boys return home, but the same day that the war ended, after being told that the conflict was over she fell asleep in Jesus.

It was thought unnecessary to give account of her life, as the way she lived told more than could be written. It is enough to say she was a devoted Christian.

The funeral services were held at Eustis, Nebraska, November 13, 1918, conducted by Rev. Drunan, pastor of the Evangelical church, and sermon by T. E. Gillet, pastor of the Methodist church of Farnam.

There were about sixteen people from Farnam attended the funeral, who join with the bereaved family in their great sorrow.
